Glencadam

Glencadam was founded in 1825 in Brechin, in the county of Angus. Over the centuries it passed through several ownership changes and periods of suspended production; after being temporarily mothballed in 2000, the distillery was bought by Angus Dundee Distillers in 2003, which relaunched production. In recent years Glencadam celebrated its bicentenary and reopened to the public with a visitor centre.

Maintain traditional production methods ('traditional handcrafting') with emphasis on the quality of the new make and controlled experimentation with different cask types to achieve soft, fruity and well-balanced expressions. The core range is bottled at natural colour and non-chillfiltered to preserve the character of the whisky.
